I have a question about the guild verse build.
Say the guild i am in does this. Do i still have a choice not to pvp flag? Or is it every one in the 2 waring guilds are open game for being killed?

This could be a make or break for me. On pve servers pvp should never happen with out my consent. Not my guild leaders mine!


As Minnea has stated, they're still working on the GvG system for PvE servers. They likely can't answer that yet.

In case you're not aware, GvG declaration on a PvP server means all guild members are flagged for the opposing guild and show up on the minimap when nearby. If you don't want to fight against a guild that you're at war with, you would have to leave your guild or forfeit the war. Of course quest hubs and cities are still safe zones.

Want to try this game.
Would roll PvE if PvP is not vastly different (besides the whole, gank anyone anyone; will there be area's for mass PvP outside of battlegrounds? Much like Castles in L2?)
Would preferably convince my friend that 'its not that bad'.

Many thanks~
Minnus


They don't have mass pvp i.e. castle sieges yet, but have plans to implement something like it (nothing concrete yet but they've talked about it in interviews).

I hope you will join us.
I'm always happy to see ex-L2 players I think they're the best!! ;)

I will never understand people who say they don't like pvp D:

What if someone annoys u? wont you wanna pk him?Do you realize how great it feels to pk someone that annoys you?

well my girlfriend was like that, Saying won't attack anyone and rolled healer so can only assist me
we still rolled a pvp server cause of me being pvp addict
Needless to say after lvl 11 she was rpking with me whole weekend lol

You dont have to understand us, But you need to understand that we exist and that we are a large part of any mmo player base.

No i have no desire to pk some one who annoys me. I have /ignore to take care of that.

I love pvp. Testing your skill against another player is great and really, it's what makes getting the best gear worth it. PK is what I'm not ok with and I've reached a maturity level high enough to move on if some bored player feels the need to harrass me. Like wise, I'd rather not listen to rants in world chat about ganking or be ganked myself for absolutely no reason other then the alleviation of someone elses boredom.

We all have our play styles that's why they make servers to cater to the majority.

GvG will be consensual for PvE servers, but otherwise the same. The exact specifics on how it is consensual is what we are working on.

Thanks very much for the reply!
I couldnt really find any info about the guild verse guild rules from your link.
Could you please point me to where i can find out more about how GvG works?

I take it the working on how it will be consensual means your not sure how it will work yet for pve servers.
Please take into account that on pve servers the ultimate choice to be pvp flagged should come from each individual. If its some thing that the guild leader or guild officers have the say so then my personal choice is removed.
I guess i would end up forced to play unguilded and miss out on all the great things being in a guild provides but i much rather have the option to take part in gvg or not even in in a guild that does do it.
I have many years of experience in mmo and guilds. Generally all of them i have been in do not mind me never doing pvp because i contribute greatly to the pve side.
But with this guild verse guild i fear that ether the guild wont be able to do it because i refuse to be pvp flagged and ill have to leave the guild or be force to be pvp flagged to the guild that is at war with.

I hope all that makes sense. I do not mind consensual pvp happening. I just very much mind not having a choice in the matter! If the only choice is to not be guilded then thats really no choice at all.
I have played many games and never once have i had to make such a choice on pve servers.
Ultimately this will be a make or break issue for me and my wife. So any info will be great. ATM not knowing this has made us put pre order on hold till we find out more.

Thanks in advance for any more info you can give me.

On PvE servers, we currently have duels and deathmatches (consensual team PvP match) in the world. We are currently working on guild vs. guild on PvE servers as well. :)


I have a question about the guild verse build.
Say the guild i am in does this. Do i still have a choice not to pvp flag? Or is it every one in the 2 waring guilds are open game for being killed?

This could be a make or break for me. On pve servers pvp should never happen with out my consent. Not my guild leaders mine!
Edited by: ShadowSkill about 1 year ago - Reason: If your In a guild then it's your guild leaders right to flag the guild for GvG, I doubt it will happen often and it only lasts 24 hours. If your that against it just play an alt for that day. Im sure that you will have a voice in your guild so if you don
